You don't need the desktop= boot code unless you have installed more than one desktop/window manager and the one you want to use was not the last one loaded.

Fluxbox will do layer a window on top.

installed fluxbox.tcz
Got 4 desktops & right click on window title gave layer > top option .
Everything OK .

icewm is also nice with layer > 'on top' functionality . Moreover switching between windows cause them to overlap others as long as others are not set 'on top' .

So that means 'on top' functionality ain't possible in flwm .

It might be of interest to test if xvkbd's option "Main menu -> Property... -> Always on Top?" would work in fluxbox and/or icewm, regardless of setting window layer of xvkbd's window by the wm.
